Italy. Vote the right guy. Stop selling weapons as if they were candies and increase taxes to hire and develop teachers.

Um, ya, not happening anytime soon, and not really addressing the multitude of systemic problems that are occurring.

Problems abound. "This month, the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child gave Italy a failing grade on protecting minors from sexual exploitation. In particular, the committee expressed concern “about the numerous cases of children having been sexually abused by religious personnel of the Catholic Church” and the “low number of investigations and criminal prosecutions” of those crimes. And while other countries have taken a hard look at the problem of clerical abuse, Italy has approached it with something closer to a media blackout. Experts consider Italy’s response to be one of the worst among Western nations, comparable to that of some African and Asian churches in which denial about clerical sex abuse is still rampant." https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/22/world/europe/italy-catholic-church-pope-francis-abuse.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/22/world/europe/italy-cathol...

  You are 100% right. The Church, but in general all religious organizations, are and have always been a plague for the society. Curious though, how you're trying to attack me for having criticized your country. This is typical of those who cannot debate critically, and need to oppose whoever doesn't share their own beliefs. Like nationalists. Or fundamentalists. Your try to move the focus to me (or my country) is nice but had no effect. This article is about something which is legal in your country, not in mine. In my country child abuses are performed by criminals, in your country they are backed up by law.
